In order to be successful and have a ‘good flow’ for the incoming and exiting trucks, we recommend at minimum of 3 acres (perhaps 2.5 if it is perfect) but a more reasonable size would be 4-5 acres.

Because commercial truck washes provide a fully thorough clean, there needs to be room for all the wash equipment and enough length to provide proper dwell time on the truck between each step. At minimum the truck wash bay needs to be 150 feet long, though we do recommend a length of 200 feet (or more). We have experience with many different wash bay sizes and are able to help you plan a new truck wash building design to have the most efficient and profitable drive thru truck wash business.

Realistically, most commercial truck washes open to the public have all the bells and whistles! Customers expect commercial truck washes want to have all the options and the ability to get a great clean. It will be up to you on how detailed your truck wash will be but most washes allow for different options and ‘add ons’ for each individual customer’s wash. Sometimes this includes a ‘stop for detail’ area and typically includes dryers (blowers).

The straightforward answer is “YES!” It simply means who you choose for your project must be practical, experienced, and understanding of your wants and needs. It’s important to partner with an experienced company and to start with a proper business plan for your truck wash.

We take great pride in the fact that with all of the truck washes we have built, over 95% of the customers continue to use our fleet washing detergents and rely on our maintenance and service for their system.

We think this speaks volumes about our efforts to achieve complete customer satisfaction through the quality and innovation of our equipment, superiority of our detergents, and the ongoing support for our customers.
